This is a lot owned by a corporation for years. However, recently there has been a lot of illegal parking, and the vehicles and trucks jut out into the sidewalk. In addition, there is no legal way for some of the vehicles to get out if there are cars parked on the street in front.

717 S Smedley and 715 S Smedley have put out a large pile of trash 6 days early. Likely could have been due to snowstorms, but now trash is spilling out in the street since it has been sitting out and will remain there through to 3/21. Please have them remove from the sidewalk.

Residents have improperly bundled large cardboard containers and cardboard recycling that has been ignored by the collecting trucks and is littering the sidewalk and interfering with pedestrian traffic.

This new store getting ready to open on the NW corner of 20th & Carpenter Streets is a disgrace. First, they breached the party wall through the back into the neighboring property. Next, they installed an air conditioner unit right out on the sidewalk (Carpenter St side). And today they have installed very ugly & DEFINITELY ILLEGAL awnings. They have no permission, variances or anything else that would be required to allow them to do these things. Neighbors unite against this blight!!

This was formerly a store from which drug dealing took place, and neighbors extended a great deal of time and effort to eliminate it. This 'new' store looks like a rehash of the 'old' store and we don't want establishments like this in our neighborhood. Please make them conform to permitting and zoning regulations. .

At 10:15am this morning I saw a young female tenant of 2221 St Albans Street leave the property with several bags of trash, two of which she left in front of 2209 St Albans Street. She then threw others into a small gated courtyard next to 2209 and left the remaining bags at the curb.

Photo of the PHA tenant in front of 2221 St Albans Street just after she threw all of the trash in front of 2209, in the courtyard and on the sidewalk. Sorry for quality of photo, but the other tenants will know who she is. All of the tenants should be fined.

The trash bags are covered with flies and many of the bags on the curb have been there for the past week.

In addition to all of the trash this PHA tenant has thrown in front of 2209 SAS, (St Albans St), the courtyard next to 2209 SAS, and the curb in front of the same address, I noticed, as I walked by 2221 SAS, several other bags of trash towards the side of the house. All of these bags, along with those at 2209 are covered with flies--rotting garbage.

There is a sidewalk/curbside parking issue on the 738-769 block of Chadwick street. Emergency and delivery vehicles cannot access the street and visually impaired pedestrians cannot walk on the sidewalk of the street, all because folks are parking their cars halfway on the sidewalk and street. I almost hit a family of 5 with my car that was walking in the middle of the street because there was no room for them to safely walk on the sidewalk. Citations need to be given to those who illegally park. Phila Parking Auth explains that, in any situation, it is illegal to park on a sidewalk. Most of those who park don’t reside on the block at all!

Apparently there are a couple of options. Hopefully this channel works, but if not, one would need to contact the City Council division assigned to 19146 zip code which is 215-686-3412 and complain--they can ask Phila PArking Auth to issue citations to those parked on sidewalks. You can also contact the 17th District police department who handles 19146 at 215-686-3170 (not much help there though; they seem to be empathetic to the street size and stated unless others report a problem too, they would not get involved, that we should contact City Hall (hence the loop). Looking forward to your help! Our group is also working on fixing the unsafe sreet holes.
